Abstract
THE British Association this year was favoured with exceptionally fine weather. The sun shone all day long, and not a drop of rain interfered with the visits to works and the short sectional excursions to places of scientific interest. The number of members and associates (1438), although satisfactory in the circumstances of a great European war, was small as compared with previous meetings. From these two factors it might have been anticipated that the attendances at the sections would be unsatisfactory. But from all accounts that have been received the section rooms have been well filled both in the morning and afternoon sittings, and the proceedings have been of quite exceptional interest and importance. It is evident, therefore, that the modifications of the usual programme that were made for the Manchester meeting have affected those who attend the association for the sake of the excursions and social functions far more than those who regard it seriously as an opportunity for scientific work and exchange of ideas.
